About Jeannie
When I was in my mid-thirties I spontaneously, passionately, and somewhat arrogantly cried out in the dark heat of a sweat lodge, “Give me nothing that I want!” Shortly thereafter, I was plunged into a five-year dark night of the soul that stripped me of my former orientation and shifted my perception and consciousness. Though I loved my idea of God, and was a psycho-spiritual adventurer, I was not a seeker of enlightenment. I simply wanted to be the best embodiment of love possible and had a willingness and passion to face anything in service to that. While eclipsed by the dark night, I did not grasp the deep spiritual gift it offered and all that it would reveal.
From the ashes of my former life rose a wide open, rooted-in-now being-ness that replaced my former me-centered life. My heart glowed with love. A beloved teacher of mine who held my hand in that night urged me to share from this love and friends started inviting me to do so. After a few years of part-time teaching, I left my job with enough money to live for a year to step fully into this current. I have not looked back.
I am here to celebrate and champion the beauty of the human being you ARE. There is no other version, imagined or promised, that contains its organic power and blessedness. I am here to liberate that most awesome of all undiscovered resources: the holy love that lives in your heart. Through a deep surrender to the unknown and a willingness to discover oneself and the world anew, I know it is possible to live here wide open, carried by a holy current — a wedding of the sweetness of heaven and the rich and firm ground of earth — and to speak, act, love, relate and commune from the Oneness that you are.
I’m down-to-earth, real, irreverent, funny, and quirky. I have a deep understanding of the human psyche, mercy for humanness, and a devoted servant heart. My gatherings feel like a waterfall of poetry in a thick sea of love and presence punctuated by an occasional off-color metaphor. Revelation and experience, born of fully engaged living, weave together in a unique and grounded expression of the undivided. I create transformational spaces that support the flowering of your unique wisdom, essence and gift, and the shedding of the pain you can no longer bear.
I know how to sing your heart awake and out of its hiding place, to help you grow legs under it and waltz it into the world — sturdy and tender — to spill its light and beauty. I will use anything I find at my fingertips or that upwells within me to champion and hold space for your authentic light. I will walk with you to the edge of your unique abyss and lovingly hold you there. I will tenderly call your name, sing to you, gently expose your funny spots, hold a radically protected space for your tenderest gooey center, and welcome you into the arms of the nourishing moment — to shine as the living presence that you are.
